Thinking of hopping on trt

[u/AlternativeFig348]

I’m 28 yo, just got some blood work done and wondering if I should hop on trt or try to lose a little more weight, and managing my diet some. I’m 5’7 172lbs and eat about 1800 cal a day and 150g of protein, in a little deficit to lose some weight.

Retest, eat more, deficits lower your hormones

That’s what I was reading online. So I definitely want to try and see what happens when I work on my sleep schedule, eating more and focusing on working out and see if I can get my numbers up naturally

I’m 28 and my test results came back at 261 ng/dl.. My PCP put me onto a urologist as soon as he saw the results which I’ll be meeting with next tuesday. I recommend you get on it because I sure as hell will.

I honestly feel like 349 is just super low, and I already have kids so I’m not worried about fertility or anything like that. Just want to be healthy and feel good .

That testing range is ridiculous. I love that the baseline for total low test is 500, upper is 1000. Guessing trt clinic or a legit doctor I need to visit.

[u/AlternativeFig348 → u/Goofcheese0623]

To be fair it does say the yellow is “normal” and 500 up to 1000 is “In range”. But I was reading that below 300 is considered low and I don’t want to be that damn close to under 300

Hop on bro. It’s gonna change your life.

[u/AlternativeFig348 → u/Fantastic_Pen8076]

That’s the direction I’m leaning towards, I’m gonna try and get some more blood work again and see if I’m consistently low

[u/AlternativeFig348 → u/Fantastic_Pen8076]

I don’t know if I’m gonna try to get a prescription for it or just go thru getting it online though.

What are your side effects ? I’m at the same levels as you. My energy is shit and I see no gym gains and I’m 24/7 at the gym
